    Interesting. I did not know that. And still they got 15x speedup ( https://www.cerebras.ai/blog/openai-gpt-oss-120b-runs-fastes... ). I wonder how much additional speedup would be …

    They do this all the time, I'm using ChatGPT in Instant mode and it auto updates to thinking if my question is complex. Most of the time this works. To answer your question: A larg…

    They are: https://openai.com/index/cerebras-partnership/ My guess is they only consider Luna "good enough" to justify the immense up-front investment to put it onto silicon, but Lu…

    Let’s speculate: they want luna to be their first model “on silicon” and need as much test data as possible before finalizing the design.

    Why? "Summarize in detail what we're doing here and what we have done/learnt so far so another agent can continue" usually works and does not burn the full context length of tokens…

    This is not correct and a common misunderstanding of the court ruling. The verbatim output of an LLM is not copyrightable. If you create a work using an LLM, this IS of course copy…

    No. That's the misunderstanding. You are right, I did not solve the problem "how do I need to layout the editor so the chords appear directly above the correct bar". I definitely s…

    People seem to be downvoting you because they don't want it to be this way, but I feel you're absolutely correct and this in inevitable. No matter how we - 2026 - feel about it, th…

    Of course. But I have been programming for over 30 years and I know that I cannot be an expert for everything. Besides that, maybe my capacity for thinking won’t grow anymore. But …

    How do people imagine the process of creating software with AI? Tell it “I need an app where I can send images to friends” and accept the first result? In your analogy, what I’m ta…

    Let’s not argue about the meaning of “making”, but that’s a very limited view of how value is created. So in your view the producer or even the director of a movie cannot take prid…

    Comment #49010481

    But that’s just arguing about the meaning of the word “make” now. The real discussion does not seem to be about words though but about value. If you find vibe-coded software worthl…

    Comment #49010161

    I know many people agree but I can’t really follow this sentiment. I can still take pride in something I “made” with an LLM even if I did not write a single line of code for it. I …

    I’m not sure it’s so simple. I went on a trip with friends this weekend and cut a video from all the short clips we filmed on our phones. Before AI I would have used some song from…

    I have good results with this prompt after every larger change: Now do a final code check. Is everything tidy and do the components adhere to the principle of separations-of-concer…

    Sound like snake oil. How would this work? The app that the agent is developing needs access to the file, so access to it cannot be blocked. Just because read_file can not access i…

    Sometimes I have weird fantasies about a post apocalyptic world where factories burned down and people have to live with the tech that’s available. No network, just off site solar …

    This is not about information but about capital. Even if we had free access to the weights of the best models in the world: who would be able to run them?

    If that’s true, then it will be even cheaper to provide them as a subscription. Following your logic, every company would be running their own data centers instead of using cloud p…

    This will not happen. None of the existing apps people use daily on their phones have any incentive to support this. Social media wants the people to doomscroll, shopping apps and …

    You're absolutely right! "Why Does This Matter?" was a dead giveaway that this article was not written by a human — it was written by a large language model. But really: "Why does …

    But there is interesting information in lots of the comments. Like the quote from Ternus about Apple Maps in one of the comments. This gives relevant insight of how he thinks and h…

    I’m not doing that. That would be like giving my child shell access to my system.
